Sudden Oak Death – SOD: Bibliography of Important Literature
University Outreach Publication
Oaks (Quercus spp.) are a centerpiece of our forests and communities. Oaks are prone to many stresses, including a number of pathogens. Most pathogens are not significant to the life of an oak, but a few are life-threatening. Sudden oak death is initiated by a type of fungi named Phytophthora ramorum, newly discovered and named (~1993). It can be found on many species of plants as a leaf, bud, and twig pathogen. In a few species, such as in selected oaks, this pathogen attacks stems leading to tree death. This publication was developed to allow practitioners to enter the literature regarding this important pathogen. This is not a comprehensive review.
